Version 1.4 issues
« on: April 30, 2007, 04:00:17 pm »
There were a lot of big architectural changes in version 1.4 so when it went public some nasty bugs were introduced that couldn`t be found with small testing.
I`m announcing a patch that will fix all these issues. If you have any serious problem with this version, please await the patch, it will be ready in a couple days.
Here are some of the problems that will be adressed:

- Fixed access violation errors when starting game (no need for compatibility mode)
- Fixed resolution change and minimap not working
- Fixed lobby error messages
- Fixed unicode fonts under Windows 98/SE
- Fixed no secondary on server join
- Fixed kicking on servers with disabled weapons
- Fixed flamer spamming and ban

In the meantime please try numerous solutions for the existing problems in this thread (read "Version 1.4 issues").

What was supposedly wrong with the resolution changes, aside from messed up interfaces?

And...Yay!

Please fix the UDP packet problem.. I sent you an email with information on the exact problem and its related to Delphi and UDP packet integrity. Please read your email for the article link. This is also talked about when Soldat is mentioned in Wiki. The original Wiki not Soldat Wiki.

You did good work overall with a drastic improvement. Fix the registery issue and the games gameplay will be flawlessly perfect. Weapon balance aside.

While you are at it... please also declare the Players Kills to be a SIGNED INTEGER VALUE. Because if you decrease the kills from 0 to -1 the client shows the -1 as 65535....
